From the English Department

Overview of English Department

The English Department at STS has established a dynamic and comprehensive approach to English language education, centered around creating an immersive English-learning environment and catering to diverse learner needs.

 

The English Corner: Our Learning Hub

At the heart of our English program is the innovative English Corner, a multi-purpose space that serves as both a learning hub and recreational area. This specially designed space features state-of-the-art facilities including large LCD displays and an immersive sound system, creating an engaging environment where students can naturally develop their English skills. The space transforms occasionally into the STS Café, where students can practice practical English while learning barista skills and social interaction.

 

Enrichment and External Activities

Beyond classroom learning, we actively encourage student participation in external activities. The department organizes overseas study tours, such as the 2023 Queensland trip where students experienced authentic English communication through homestay programs. Students are also encouraged to participate in the Speech Festival and other competitions to broaden their horizons and apply their language skills in real-world contexts.

 

Technology Integration

Our innovative approach extends to the use of modern technology and multimodal learning aids, including e-books, interactive applications, and games, ensuring that learning remains engaging and relevant to contemporary students' needs.
